<PRE>'Twas brillig, and Dexter Morgan at 15/06/11 09:26 did gyre and gimble:
&gt;<i> hello
</I>&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;<i> the last BS breakage makes me thing that we should adjust our
</I>&gt;<i> packaging policy and add only one lib per lib package.
</I>&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;<i> On our last BS breakage we had as error :
</I>&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;<i> A requested package cannot be installed:
</I>&gt;<i> seahorse-2.32.0-2.mga1.x86_64 (due to unsatisfied libgp11.so.0()(64bit))
</I>&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;<i> because libgp11.so.0 was in libgcr0 but disappeared.
</I>&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;<i> if it was on libgp11_0 we would have been able to rebuilde seahorse
</I>&gt;<i> against new libgcr-devel and the remove libgp11_0 when not needed
</I>&gt;<i> anymore .
</I>&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;<i> WDYT about this new policy ?
</I>
I'm not 100% sure it's all that different anyway. The same issue would
be true of sticking two libs into one lib package when they happen to
have the same major, but they later diverge and one of them changes
major before the other... I guess it's just good practice to keep things
separated out and I'm not sure the current lib policy actively
encourages the opposite.

I'd say this is more of clarification of the policy :)
